2. 16. Combustion Bowl Heat Transfer Analysis in Diesel and PPC Engines

   Author : Helgi Fridriksson; Värmeöverföring; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Heat Transfer; CFD; Internal Combustion Engine; Diesel; PPC;

   Abstract : This thesis concerns a numerical investigation on heat transfer in internal combustion engines, with the aim of increasing engine efficiency. The efficiency gains are to be extracted from reduced heat transfer losses, by increasing the knowledge on how the heat transfer process is affected by various hardware and operational parameters in the engine.

4. 17. Thermodynamic Simulation of HCCI Engine Systems

   Author : Olof Erlandsson; Förbränningsmotorer; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; HAM; Turbine; Compressor; Turbocharger; Engine; Modeling; HCCI; Simulation; Motors and propulsion systems; Motorer; framdrivningssystem;

   Abstract : This thesis focuses on engine system simulation using thermodynamics and chemical kinetic models to investigate the performance and efficiency of Homogeneous Charge Compression Ignition (HCCI) engines for stationary applications. It includes the development of software as well as models for engine, turbocharger, intercooler, inlet and exhaust manifolds, wastegate valve, inlet air humidifier, inlet air heater and more.

   Abstract : Reduction of heat loss from the combustion chamber in an engine has great potential to decrease fuel consumption and CO2 emissions. Research on thermal barrier coatings (TBC) has been performed since the early eighties to address this potential. READ MORE

7. 20. Zero and Multi-Dimensional Modeling of Internal Combustion Engines with respect to Ion Current and Soot Formation

   Author : Abdelhadi Ahmedi; Institutioner vid LTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; engine knock; pollutant emissions; detailed chemical kinetics; thermal ionization.; ion current sensor; method of moments; ionization; soot formation oxidation; modeling; auto-ignition; Spark ignition engine; diesel engine;

   Abstract : The work presented in this thesis can be divided into the three following fields of investigation: First of all the ionization model developed in this thesis is meant to simulate the thermal ionization process or the so-called second peak. Equilibrium assumptions have been adopted for the modeling of the thermal ionization, in which Saha’s equation was derived for singly ionized molecules. READ MORE
